ANALYTIC TEACHING AND PHILOSOPHICAL PRAXIS      Vol. 37 Issue 2 (2017) 

 

Editor’s Notes 
 

The four articles that make up the second issue of 
volume 37 are a response to a Call for Papers on the 
topic of Art, Creativity and the Community of Inquiry.  

  
     The first article by Moriyón explores how the 
community of inquiry can be seen as an artistic 
performance, reinforcing the dynamic relationship 
between higher-order critical thinking and creativity.     
The second piece by Garside and Myskiw explains the 
challenges and benefits that come from implementing 
artistic activities in a DAREarts program in British 
Columbia, Canada, and discusses the structural 
similarities between this program and the community 
of inquiry.  The third article by Kenyon and Terorde-
Doyle provides another thoughtful reflection on the 
implementation of artistic projects in the classroom, 
and discusses how their efforts to engage pre-
kindergarten children in PFC were greatly enhanced 
through artistic activities.   Finally, we have Turgeon’s 
contribution, which looks at David Weisner’s Art and 
Max and suggests a number of novel ways this children’s 
book can be utilized to examine several rather deep 
issues surrounding art, authorship, and artistic 
practices. The compilation of book reviews by Richard 
Morehouse rounds out our current issue as he looks at 
a series of texts and teacher manuals designed to help 
educators implement philosophy for children in their 
classrooms.  

Taken together, this issue offers both thoughtful 
theoretical reflections on the nature of art and creativity 
as well as concrete practical examples of how artistic 
practices have been utilized to enhance the experience 
of PFC. 

 
     I hope the current volume finds you all doing well 
and engaged in a project you love…
